Be There For Friends

Be There For Friends

There were two childhood buddies who went through school and college and even joined the army together.

War broke out and they were fighting in the same unit. One night they were ambushed. Bullets were flying all over and out of the darkness came a voice, "Harry, please come and help me."

Harry immediately recognized the voice of his childhood buddy, Bill. He asked the captain if he could go. The captain said, "No, I can't let you go, I am already short-handed and I cannot afford to lose one more person. Besides, the way Bill sounds he is not going to make it." Harry kept quiet.

Again the voice came, "Harry, please come and help me." Harry sat quietly because the captain had refused earlier. Again and again the voice came. Harry couldn't contain himself any longer and told the captain, "Captain, this is my childhood buddy. I have to go and help." The captain reluctantly let him go. Harry crawled through the darkness and dragged Bill back into the trench. They found that Bill was dead.

Now the captain got angry and shouted at Harry, "Didn't I tell you he was not going to make it? He is dead, you could have been killed and I could have lost a hand. That was a mistake."

Harry replied, "Captain, I did the right thing. When I reached Bill he was still alive and his last words were 'Harry, I knew you would come.'

Never Trust People for they Love their own Business.

I remembered while I was studying in class 12 at Semtokha, where my Architecture Lopen Phub Tshering told us “Never trust people, they love business.” I never think of it or realized or listen to him at that time. But as of today I think he was right. Should I trust my relatives because ………..? I did not face that much problem before I was employed. After I was employed then started many things which I will write in the following lines. Immediately after I was employed in October 2011, at the very beginning where I worked only three, four days I got a called from my cousin sister saying that she need 10,000 Nu. I told her I have no money and I haven’t paid my salary yet which I have just started my job this month. So what happen after that? She called my parent saying that she feed me and had given a lot of money during my school days which otherwise she could have been rich if she had not spend that for my expenditure. I should say I ate a food ...

I can ride cycle now.

After my coming for study in India I have to do everything and work equally like what other do. I never thought of riding cycle when I am coming from Bhutan. Actually I am used to for walking as if it is in Bhutan. The distance between my department and hostel in my university seems very short to me and I always walked. Sometime I have to run when I am late and sometime my friend they help in carrying me. After a month here in the university I met one Tibetan friend who is kind enough to me who always want me to learn cycle and he always carry me. I never listen to him saying that I will walk as I am young and energetic. One day I slept late because I have class test and I study till late night. That morning I was in deep sleep and when I woke up I was late. I don’t know what to do as I am late for my class test. Then after quick washing of my face I ran to department and luckily there wasn’t professor. From that day to my mind it came up that I should learn cycle. I know every...

Thanking god

Everyday I scan my brain looking for ideas to write some articles. I want to write something and make it a habit. I don’t care what my writing turns out to be. I am not a William Shakespeare penning Romeo and Juliet nor a Ben Johnson inventing a dictionary. I am just stupid and foolish ordinary guys who don’t know anything. I am writing to thank god for giving me a stupid brain which makes me work hard and have a fruits of it. Mountains are white with snow and beauty descends with the snowflakes. River is crystal clear as it moves down through rough valleys and beauty lays swimming in it. Forest is green with rich vegetation and beauty lies in the multitude of animals. World is full of flora and faunas and the beauty is the creature living in it. I thank god for giving me a beautiful world. Many things are sold in a market. I look at my wallet which contains limited money. So I make a choice between my needs and wants. Thank you for giving me limited means so that I becom...
